Do you know the Bible is God's Holy Word? Do you know it is
-
inspired, in errant, and infallible. If so, like, share,
-
subscribe and support this podcast. So we are Maranatha Ministries and now Redemption Draweth
-
Nighe. Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the program. We're your
-
host, Jose and Matthew. I am passing it off to Jose right from
-
the get go. Jose. All right, Matthew. So there's been a
-
lot in the news lately about the events going on in the in the Holy
-
Land, lots of fighting the the net and Yahoo declaring war they're in Israel.
-
And again, Matthew, because a lot of us have grown with christian
-
and especially in the American Church, there's a lot of significance prophetically put on
-
that on that nation of Israel that exists currently, Matthew. And so that's
-
always a point of contention in the world, but also a point of prophetic
-
significance for Christians. And we've always said that, I'm trying to think of
-
a good way to put this, Matthew, But Israel in the Bible is
-
not that Israel that exists that that exists now in in in this world,
-
the nation of Israel there are obviously we're gonna we're gonna look at the Holy
-
nan and stuff going on there, Matthew, for for things that can draw
-
our attention to the Bible, things that we can study out. But when
-
it comes to the prophecies that are said about Israel and the Bible, those
-
are not that this the nation that that exists now, the country that exists
-
now, Matthew, doesn't fulfill those prophecies. And I think that's real important
-
for us. We've repeated over and over that the Israel that that God's discussing
-
in the Bible are are are those that follow his son? Are those Christians
-
Israel? And Hebrew means those whom God has straightened, And that's only accomplished
-
through his son, Matthew, that's the only mechanism that we have to be
-
straightened. Otherwise we're gonna we're gonna head in the wrong direction like everyone else.
-
So as these events happened, Matthew, it obviously kicked off in my
-
head. The fact that they are in the in the middle of their holy
-
days. There that the that the Jews are celebrating. You have the coat
-
that is just finishing up you have the eighth day, the Sabbath day after
-
the coat, and then that leads us into Simcott Torah, which is when
-
the Jews begin to start the Torah all over again, and they're in their
-
readings essentially the start of their new not the new year, but the new
-
renewing of their of their biblical reading, right, Matthew. So that's what,
-
that's what the significance that that hit me. Yes, there's you kind
-
of you kind of get some trepidation when you when you hear of war going
-
on in in the nation of Israel, just because we've read our Bible our
-
whole life, Matthew, and so that that that gets our attention, that
-
gets our it's kind of subconscious, right, Matthew. When when stuff happens
-
in the land of Israel, Boy, we we start we start perking up,
-
We start cracking our Bible trying to see what what God's what God's going
-
to tell us about what's going on. But it's very important too to read
-
the news and see the news and then let that Holy Spirit guide you to
-
what you need to study, so that so that we can figure out what
-
we need to do for the body, what we need to do to edify
-
the ecclesia, what we need to to prepare to prepare the bride for the
-
bridegroom. So those are my opening statements. Matthew Well, I will jump
-
in here with this. I'm sorry that today's church has not been properly brought
-
up to speed on the terminology for what is that land that we're talking about?
-
And it is the Promised Land. When we say that again, I
-
was taught from my birth it is the Promise Land. I never knew it
-
as any other thing until well, look the use of the words holy land
-
and anything else that's been a I was an adult when those things start being
-
crept into the media, you see, they hate the Promised Land because the
-
Promised Land means that it's only for God's people, and they hate that.
-
They gnash their teeth at that. So in order to be all inclusive,
-
they say that it is a holy land for the three major religions on this
-
planet, all of which happened to be the Abrahamic religions, which is first
-
and foremost and with single legitimacy, it's Christianity. Now, the other ones
-
that are of illegitimate origins are the Jews and Muslims. Now, I'm speaking
-
as if I'm speaking in a classroom. This is how I always do it.
-
If I'm in the pulpit, doesn't matter. It is the Promise Land,
-
and it is promised to the children of Abraham. The children of Abraham
-
are defined by the Scripture as anyone on this planet of any race, nationality,
-
or tribe that is accepted into the New Covenant via the blood of the
-
Lord Jesus Christ. Period. So they can be Estimos, they can be
-
American Indians, they can be Poles, they can be Koreans. Once they
-
accept the sacrifice that the broken body of the Lord Jesus Christ supplied, and
-
believe upon his resurrection and ascension into Heaven, they are the children of promised
-
and the Promised Land belongs to them, luck, stock and barrel nobody else.
-
Let me say that again, irregardless of nationality, tribe, what language
-
they speak, God really doesn't care. So when we see events happen in
-
the Promised Land, we consult our idle history. Now, our bridal history
-
has its origin in the in the family tree of Abraham. So you're quite
-
correct. When when we do these things, we realize what day they did
-
this on. They did this on the eighth day. What do I mean
-
by that? Well, this Hebrew term that they use for this, this
-
Hebrew means eighth. It's in the Bible four different times explicitly well of Leviticus,
-
chapter twenty three, verse thirty six. For seven days, you shall
-
present an offering by fire to the Lord. On the eighth day you shall
-
have a holy convocation and present an offering by fire to the Lord. It
-
is an assembly. You shall do no labori'st work numbers Chapter twenty nine,
-
verse thirty five. On the eighth day you should have a solemn assembly.
-
You shall do no laborious work. Numbers twenty nine, thirty five. On
-
the eighth day you shall have us all assembly. You shall do no laborious
-
work. It's just that simple. So this follows. This is the period
-
at the end of the sentence of Sukot, and once again the enemies of
-
the Israelis. Now take note, that's a biblical differentiation. Because God calls
-
the children of the Promise they are israel per Romans chapters nine through eleven.
-
That's why the modern people living in the Promised Land they are called Israelis.
-
They are not Israelites, as that is the station of the children of the
-
Promise. So when I say Israeli, that's what I mean, the modern
-
occupants of the Promised Land. So once again they're attacked on the Sabbath.
-
Now what makes this really of bambastic importance is you're right, jose net Yahoo.
-
For the first time since nineteen seventy three Young Kapoor War, the Israeli
-
Empire has declared war. So this should get everybody's attention, because quite right,
-
the next day is the day in our bridal history we're supposed to recycle
-
our readings through the Pinituok. Now, let's nip this in the butt as
-
well. I am using purely promise terminology. I being a child of the
-
Promise, we children of the Promised have always historically called the first five books
-
of Moses the pinetuk. I do not need to use the terminologically that the
-
Judaist used. I don't need to use the terminology that of the Hebrew roots
-
people use. That is anathema. So today in our bridal history we should
-
know, and especially today's reading. It triggers a response because there's all foot
-
the problems with the reading today as it recycles because it doesn't begin in Well,
-
first off, you need to understand there's three different phases of the readings
-
when they recycle, and today those three separate readings, one of them will
-
take you to this chapter we're going to talk about today, but it has
-
major problems with it. It's got names missing, there's all kind of interesting
-
things. So when an Israeli reads this and couples it with its sister chapter,
-
because there's two chapters of blessings, there's a Blessing of Abraham it lists
-
all the children there, and then the other one is here, it's called
-
the Song of Moses. You put them together, they absolutely contradict themselves.
-
Oh yes they do, Yes they do, yes they do. So we
-
got all kinds of stuff we can learn here, and God is absolutely wanting
-
us to see that because today they recycle their readings down. Remember there's three
-
different portions, So today they recycle and they start Deuteronomy thirty three and in
-
numbers twenty nine and Joshua chapter one. This is where they restart their readings
-
for the year. So that is extremely important in all of itself. So
-
I've said quite a lot, Jose back to you. Well, yeah,
-
I just want to remind the listener what what suet celebrates. It celebrates the
-
exodus. It celebrates their their wandering in the wilderness, and how God provided
-
for them, how he led them by a by a pillar of cloud by
-
day and a pillar of fire by night. That's what that's what they're called
-
to remember, and it's what we should remember about to Coote. And then,
-
of course, like you said, Matthew, you have the eighth day
-
and what they're supposed to do on that eighth day. The eighth day should
-
also bring about the remembrance of the circumcision. And of course in the New
-
Testament we're told specific things about that circumcision, that it should be of the
-
heart, and and and that circumcision of the lesh is not what God's after.
-
He's after your heart. And so all this leads us to, like
-
you were saying, Matthew, where where that that pentetuk that Simca Torah is
-
recycled, And they begin again too to start reading through all through all this
-
stuff in the Bible, Matthew, that you could say, you could you
-
could say a lot of things about about the Jews, Matthew, and about
-
how they reject Christ but they do read their Bible, at least the Orthodox
-
ones, a lot more than a lot of Christians that I know. Oh
-
yeah, that's that's that's the shame on on us Christians. We should be
-
as disciplined as they are in reading our Bible, specifically because we understand where
-
it's taking us. We understand how God provided his son to fulfill all of
-
these prophecies. So that's a little reminder for us, a little poke for
-
us to start reading and to be more faithful in our reading. So when
-
I when I looked at at the readings for for the the renewing of of
-
this cycle, I kept being drawn to Deuteronomy thirty three, Like you said,
-
it's a it's the Song of Moses. And again we get these prophecies
-
regarding the tribes of Israel. And we've been we've been doing that in our
-
in our a couple of our previous shows Matthew discussing Judah discussing Joseph, and
-
again we get more info here about those two tribes. But of course God
-
gives us way more information than that. He brings up other tribes. So
-
I'd like to read through that, Matthew and just see what we can glean,
-
see what more information we can get that could hit our ears. And
-
again, just to be faithful in our reading, just to be a little
-
bit more desirous of God's word, because he's got he's got everything to tell
-
us, Matthew, and we just have to listen. So that's where I'd
-
like to take us. All right, Well, before we start reading,
-
I'll give I'm going to give everybody the scriptures for the two blessings of Abraham.
-
Okay, this is the one we're going to read tonight, is the
-
blessing of Moses. So that's Deuteronomy, chapter thirty three, the Blessing of
-
Jacob. The other one is GENIESI, chapter forty nine. Most people know
-
that because of the prophetic things that says about the Messiah, most importantly that
-
the scepter, this iron scepter that he's going to rule with, shall not
-
depart from Judah. That's why most people remember that blessing. But what everybody's
-
to take note that these are both poems. Now you just read it from
-
your Bible, that it's not set to stand and you'n't gonna be able to
-
see it to be hidden from you. So I strongly suggest that you get
-
well, I mean the Bible that we're going to be reading out of tonight,
-
New American Standard Bible, nineteen ninety five. It is set according to
-
the poem that it's constructed in Hebrew. So very important things here, Wow,
-
lots of things to learn here, just how this poem is set up.
-
So back to you, Jose, Okay, So I'm going to start.
-
I'm gonna read Douter on me thirty three. I'm reading from the NASB
-
nineteen ninety five. So we'll hit a few verses and then what we can
-
discuss what God's telling us here. Now, this is the blessing with which
-
Moses, the man of God, blessed the sons of Israel before his death.
-
He said, the Lord came from Sinai and donned on them from Seer.
-
He shone forth from Mount Paran, and he came from the midst of
-
ten thousand holy ones. At his right hand. There was flashing lightning for
-
them. Indeed, he loves the people. All your holy ones are in
-
your hand, and they followed in your steps. Everyone receives of your words.
-
Moses charged us with the law a possession for the assembly of Jacob,
-
and he was the king in Jeshuron, when the heads of the people were
-
gathered, when the tribes of Israel, when the heads of the people were
-
gathered the tribes of Israel together, may Reuben live and not die, nor
-
his men be few. And this regarding Judah, he said, here,
-
o, Lord, the voice of Judah, and bring him to his people
-
with his hands, he contended for them, And may you be a help
-
against his adversaries. Now stop there, for right now, Matthew, that
-
is a mouthful. So I take it well. You you read past the
-
first first stands in the poem. You included Judah, right, But I
-
need everybody to see something you're wanting to count Ruben from verse six the take
-
note, ladies and gentlemen, this poem, whenever it brings up one of
-
the tribes, it will say that he said, now you in order to
-
in order to perceive this, you have to be looking at them as a
-
uretic text. So take note. This is why in verse six, ladies
-
and gentlemen, the sept two agen reads differently. The stept Tuigen includes the
-
missing name because uh, everybody probably realized, well, why did he mention
-
the firstborn and not the second bore, but the septuagy it does include the
-
second bore. But when you realize that he didn't say that phrase he said,
-
you begin to look this over and scrutinize this first, and you realize
-
that, wait a minute, is he's saying what Ruben's name means, and
-
he's speaking prophetically because Ruben's name means the son of my sight, or literally
-
I and son. That's what Ruben means, the sons whom I've seen,
-
or better put it, when you put it in the structure of this Hebrew
-
sentence, it would prophetically mean the sons who see as I do, the
-
sons of my sight made the sons who see as I see live and not
-
die, nor his men be few. So when you realize that's what's going
-
on here in Hebrew, is that and I appreciate this of tuage and adds
-
the second bore. But this as it stands, it's a riddle. And
-
if you didn't know what it was a poem, you wouldn't see that.
-
So this is extremely important, just how this is phrased. But take no.
-
Verse seven says and this regarding Judah, so he said he only brings
-
up a tribe when he uses that phraseology, he said, so literally,
-
this is saying that the first tribe mentioned here is Judah, it's not Rupert.
-
This is extremely important when you realize that if you're in Israeli reading this,
-
this is really making you mad. It's really making you mad when you
-
look at it, and and it should because at the end of the day,
-
there's only ten tribes mentioned here. Everybody's getting all huffy. They think
-
they know something they do not when you follow this pattern, Boy, Scot,
-
this got a whole lot to say. Jose Well, what caught my
-
attention in that first verse, Matthew, the sons of Israel, the benigh
-
Israel, that sons, and the Hebrew is preceded by an olive talk which
-
we've we've we've mentioned before. It's the same thing as saying the Alpha and
-
the Omega, it's it's it's it's God himself. They're putting His initials on
-
these sons, and so that that rhymes with what you're saying about what Ruben's
-
name means, those sons that God, that that see as God does.
-
And boy, I'm trying not to overwhelm people, but you know, if
-
if you if you've heard our previous programs where we discussed Revelation chapter fourteen,
-
those that ascend the Mountain Zion, and Revelation twelve with a male child that's
-
taken up to God. This is this is who God's talking about to start
-
off this chapter, Matthew. And and and in essence, he's saying that
-
throughout this whole this whole poem, this whole chapter. But that's that's what
-
caught my eye off the bat, how God starts off this chapter. And
-
of course the just just these prayed this this phraseology, you know, his
-
holy ones, the myriads of his holy ones. It's just uh, it's
-
not it's not just talking about what what transpired when when Moses received the law,
-
Matthew, this is this is God giving us a whole lot more information
-
about what is to come. This is highly prophetic. Oh, this is
-
extremely prophetic because he comes off the hook here and uses this magical term gest
-
you run. Amen. He doesn't call him Israel. He calls them just
-
your run. He says that he and now direct quote verse five, and
-
he was king in gesture runest your run is a prophetic name for Israel.
-
Now, the first time that this verse is used is in the chapter before
-
chapter thirty two. I'm going ahead and read that, and you're going to
-
get a kick out of what it says. But justure one grew fat and
-
picked, you are grown fat, thick and sleep. Then he forsook God
-
who would make him, and scorned the rock of his salvation. Ladies and
-
gentlemen, this is speaking of a child. Let me say that again,
-
picked, grown, fat, thick, and sleep. It is talking about
-
a baby slipping into what you call the toddler phase. Yeah, Jose,
-
in every tongue on this planet, in every tribe in this planet, everybody
-
knows what the Terrible twos are, right, correct, This is common knowledge.
-
The ancient Romans knew it, the Huns knew it, the Chinese knew
-
it. Ladies and gentlemen. Everyone knows about the Terrible twos. Everybody,
-
not some people, everybody that has ever had a child in their care.
-
So this being the origin of this, and we don't have time to talk.
-
I mean, we could get into extreme mechs of Jesus there in chapter
-
thirty two, but we can't. The Israelis are starting the sequence here and
-
they're seeing exactly what Jose and I are talking about. Yes, this is
-
know with the Alic talk, and ladies and gentlemen, there's only one group
-
that's going to go to Mountain Sion. Now take note, ladies and gentlemen,
-
this is speaking as if it's Moses. And this is literally you know,
-
this is literally Moses speaking. So why does he keep saying that he
-
said, who's he? Why would he say that? Let me say that
-
again, this should be Moses writing it. Why does he keep referring to
-
himself outside of first person? Be it he does? Here? It says
-
what happened if there on Mount Sinai? This states that there were ten thousand
-
holy ones with him on Mount Sinai. No, there wasn't, Jose right,
-
that's not what the Bible says. The Bible doesn't say there were ten
-
thousand angels up there, and just that it was the Lord God of Host
-
and Moses, right, correct? And if that be true, why does
-
verse two say that he said, Look, ladies and gentlemen, Moses wouldn't
-
write. He said he would, he would state should be written. I
-
say, that's not what it says. So, ladies and gentlemen, this
-
is prophecy unbound. And one things for sure, there is no doubting,
-
there is no arguing that. Nehemiah nine twenty seven, it states those who
-
are going to Mount Zion are most shaying. I don't need to ask anybody
-
what that says in Hebrew because I can read it. Most people, that's
-
a shock to their system. What are you talking about. That's not what
-
my you know, that's not what my Bible says. Let's go there and
-
read it right now from the New American Standard Bible. That's what it says.
-
Therefore, you delivered them to the hand of their oppressors, who oppressed
-
them. But when they cried out to you in the time of their distressed
-
you heard from heaven, and according to your great compassion, you gave them
-
deliverers who delivered them from the hand of their oppressors. Ladies and gentlemen,
-
listen, Hebrew does not say judges. You're wanting it to say judges,
-
but it doesn't. It says moschaem in Hebrew. What does that mean?
-
If I walk up you, Rabbi right now at the whaling wall, and
-
I tap him on the show and I say, hey, man, what's
-
mohie mean? In English? He looked at me, stupid and say,
-
well, there's only one Moses, but it means moseses transliterated, that's Moses'
-
moshi or Moshe, whichever side of the pond you live on, and I
-
em mochay Moses is what other time is moscha em used in the Bible?
-
I don't think, I know, I know, I know. I can
-
quote it to you off the top of my head. It's the Book of
-
Oba Dayah, the very last verse. Go over to Obadiah. Right now,
-
go down to the last verse, verse twenty one. It reads as
-
such, from the New American Standard Bible, the deliverers will ascend Mount Zion
-
to judged a mountain of Esau, and the kingdom will be the Lord's.
-
I don't need you to tell me what that says in Hebrew, because I'm
-
looking at it in the Mesoretic. That says, maschaem, this is beyond
-
contestation. It's this Mushaim, We'll go to Mount Zion. You put these
-
verses together and you realize, wait a minute, did something happen? Was
-
what was happening on the top of Mount SINAI Was Moses seeing the future?
-
Was he seeing these motion a? I mean, was he literally seeing Revelation
-
chapter fourteen. Because when you look at this prophetically and look at the Hebrew
-
and you understand the al of talk. Wait a minute, what when you
-
put all these things together, it will boggle your mind back to you.
-
Well, Matthew, when we get to that part about Judah, if we
-
remember our reading about the two sticks, how that's Judah and Joseph. What
-
God's telling us here, Matthew, it sure sounds like that that portion that
-
that has to contend with the beast. He's crying out right, the voice
-
of Judah. He's crying out to the Lord, and God himself has to
-
come down and while the Holy Spirit steal this stick against their adversaries, and
-
then that's what gives them the ability to withstand the testing and of course lose
-
their heads for it. But God himself, with his hands will raise them
-
from the dead. And they're the ones that we see in Revelations chapter twenty
-
who rule and reign with Jesus as a part of the First Resurrection. Well,
-
we say that, I mean we see this literally. What you're saying
-
happens quite literally, Yes, it does. When you jump over to Revelation
-
chapter seven, this is the first thing that happens first two and I saw
-
another angel ascending from the rising of the sun, having the seal of the
-
Living God. And he cried out with a loud voice for the four angels,
-
to whom was granted to harm the earth and the sea, saying,
-
do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees until we have sealed
-
the bone servants of God on their foreheads. So we should see that type
-
of phraseology. You're right in the blessing of Judah that God's going to do
-
something and take no, no, don't lie, ladies and gentlemen, don't
-
lie. No tribulation starts until these servants of God are sealed with his hand.
-
IZ all right, So I'm gonna hit the next set of versus.
-
Matthew of Levi, he said, let your thummen and your urim belong to
-
your godly man, whom you proved at Massa, with whom you contended at
-
the waters of Meribah, who said, of his father and his mother,
-
I do not consider them. And he did not acknowledge his brothers, nor
-
did he regard his own sons. For they observed your word and kept your
-
covenant. They saw teach your ordinances to Jacob and your law to Israel.
-
He shall put incense before you and hulburnt offerings on your altar. Oh Lord,
-
bless his substance and accept the work of his hands. Shatter the loins
-
of those who rise up against him and those who hate him, so that
-
they will not rise again. Benjamin, he said, made the beloved of
-
the Lord dwell in security by him who shields him all the day. And
-
he dwells between his shoulders. And I'll stop there, Matthew, it boy,
-
a very strange instance. Here we have mentioned of the orum and the
-
thummum here reversed and urum shall we say bringing up the waters of Marabah here
-
of course other places that's called the water of contention, which that's what it
-
is. Actually in the Subtugen it says the waters of contention there. So
-
wow, there's so much prophecy here. Tank Note that it switches it up
-
here and in verse nine it gets very prophetic because he used this phraseology said.
-
But it's not Moses speaking, and it's not saying that Moses said this.
-
This is what it states, who said of his father and mother?
-
So this is Levi speaking. So this is This is crazy to look at
-
the Hebrew because you're sitting there. Now, wait a minute, Moses is
-
the one speaking. Why does it switch And now it's saying Levi said to
-
his mother and father, I did not consider them, and he did not
-
acknowledge his brothers, nor did he regard his own sons, for they observed
-
your word and kept your covenant. Wow. Uh, that's just that's a
-
mouthful right there, because well, I understand why this is being said.
-
For one, because Levi was not considered a tribe. They didn't get any
-
land in the Promised Land, right right. So then it switches it up
-
and verse ten is absolutely perfect. So Levi shall teach God's ordinances to Jacob
-
and your law to Israel. Okay, let's think about that for a moment,
-
ladies and gentlemen, who is the child of the promise? Is that
-
Jacob is Israel. Everybody's just standing there kind of dumbfounded. Well, it's
-
both God changed their name. Well, ladies and gentlemen, well, what
-
makes you think that there's not going to be any bib who's born during the
-
millennial reign of Christ who taught you that this is true. I'm gonna tell
-
you a true statement at the end of the millennial reign of Christ, Gog
-
can make Gog rise up. Yeah they do, Yes, they do.
-
So this creates what is called what the dispensationalist and the preterist can never come
-
to terms with the children's conundrum. But that's certainly what this poetic stanza is
-
talking about here, and there's no denying it at Hebrew that what's being stated
-
here is such a way that it ain't good. And it blows me away
-
how most people don't know the scripture verses containing to what happened at Maraba,
-
and you know, you you ask people and I don't know. It's frustrating
-
how people do not know their Bible prophecy. It really does blow me away.
-
Let me read Exitus, chapter seventeen, verse seven. He named the
-
place Masa and Araba because of the quarrel of the sons of Israel, and
-
because they tested the Lord, saying is the Lord among us or not?
-
So when you know the prophetic backdrop of what happened, it will blow your
-
mind. So there's a whole lot more that happened. They're in exos chat
-
after seventeen. The never that anybody's wanting to remember. But anyway, it
-
is of massive importance. I mean, especially when you realize the prophetic nature
-
of praying in a time when God can be found because your prayers will not
-
reach him in a flood of many waters. I'm sure dispensationalist and preyerist are
-
getting mad right about now, but I'm telling you the truth that's exactly stated
-
in Psalms thirty two found. Surely in the flood of grant watchers, they
-
will not reach him. I know, prophetically what he's talking about. He's
-
talking about the water's America. I don't think I know, I know,
-
I know, So boy, I'm going to pass this back to you.
-
Jose. We've we've only got nineteen minutes left, right, Yeah, there's
-
a whole lot to cover with Levi, and I think I think we're gonna
-
have to dive into that eventually, Matthew, because God does tell us that
-
that the that the Leba, the tribe of Levi, will endure, that
-
there will always be someone from Levi in in front of the in front of
-
God's face, and they're still gonna we're still going to be have ministers during
-
the millennial Reign of Christ, right Matthew, that's what the Bible tells us.
-
They're still going to require these these individuals to carry out specific acts apart
-
from the uh what those ones that were told about in Revelations chapter twenty.
-
So I know, I know eventually we're gonna have to dive into that,
-
Matthew. But there there is a whole lot being said there prophetically. But
-
in the instance of time, well, we'll move on to Joseph. So
-
verse thirteen of Joseph, he said, blessed of the Lord be his land,
-
with the choice things of heaven, with the dew and from the deep
-
lying beneath, and with the choice yield of the sun, and with the
-
choice produce of the months, with the best things of the ancient mountains,
-
with the choice things of the everlasting hills, with the choice things of the
-
earth and its fullness, and the favor of him who dwelt in the bush.
-
Let it come to the head of Joseph, and to the crown of
-
the head of the one distinguished among his brothers, as first born of his
-
Ox. Majesty is his, and his horns are the horns of the wild
-
ox. With them he will push the peoples all that once to the ends
-
of the earth, and those are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and those
-
are the thousands of Manassa. Wow, for one, it does the herocicized
-
to figure out he just said ten thousands again, and now he said eriim
-
right, and we've already talked about that. So and then it talks about
-
Manassa only being thousands. This is in direct relationship, of course, to
-
now I have to install remembrancers. There's no way to get around this.
-
This is coming from remember the song that said that Saul had slain his what
-
thousands and David his what ten thousands? Ladies and gentlemen, The older will
-
serve the younger, no doubt about it. But take note it's not calling
-
Ephraim and Manassa a tribe that did not use the key phrase he said,
-
So this is actually Joseph and Joseph a bean. That's what it is.
-
Well, your your, your God keeps stick talking about the heavens, and
-
in this set of set of versus Matthew, he also tells us about the
-
choice yield of the sun and the choice produce of the months, which which
-
he's talking about the moon there that that's what gets that's what gives us our
-
month. So again, remember what what happened when Joseph recounted his dreams to
-
his father and to his brothers. Right, that the sun, the moon,
-
the stars would all bow down to him. And then we're brought up
-
the ancient mountains, the everlasting hills. I mean that that brings up,
-
that brings up Daniel and the ancient of days. Matthew, God's not boy.
-
He keeps repeating himself over and over. And then it talks about his
-
crown, is distinguished among his brothers, his majesty. Right. I thought
-
Judah was supposed to be that the one with the scepter, Matthew, the
-
one with the one that's gonna rule, the rule his brothers. Right,
-
But we're given these words about Joseph, which means that that he's above his
-
brother He's more distinguished than his brothers. He's got a higher place than his
-
brothers. So so the and again these are just to remind people what we
-
said last week. These are the ones that are with the Father in heaven.
-
I'm Mount Zion. They had. They are the replacements for those fallen
-
angels, those ones that that are kicked out of heaven. So that's their
-
role. That's that's the blessing of the first born, that's Joseph's birthright.
-
So boy, I mean, it's just it's just why why Joseph kind of
-
gets ignored. I don't understand Matthew because God says so many amazing things about
-
him in the Bible. He does indeed, all right, And look,
-
that's why he's perfectically saying, look, prophetically, you're supposed to know this,
-
the choice produced, the choice, yield the choice things. He's not
-
coming out and saying he don't have to. He's saying, the first fruits,
-
amen, okay, And he's telling you and that's why the crown is
-
on Joseph's head, not Judah. Judah is not firstborn. Joseph is.
-
So he's trying to relay that information. There is a crown, and the
-
crown has a right hand, and in his right hand is is what rule.
-
Well, we just don't have time to do this. We need to
-
finish. Yeah, we need to trudge along here back to you, jose
-
all right, So I'll read a few more verses a Zebulin he said,
-
rejoice Zebulin in your going forth, And it's a car in your tents.
-
They will call people to the mountain. There they will offer righteous sacrifices,
-
for they will draw out the abundance of the seas and the hidden treasures of
-
the sand of God. He said, blessed is the one who enlarges God.
-
He lies down as a lion and tears the arm, also the crown
-
of the head. Then he provided the first part of himself. For there
-
the ruler's portion was reserved, and he came with the leaders of the people.
-
He executed the justice of the Lord and his ordinance, says of Israel.
-
Of Dan, he said, Dan is a lion's whelp that leaps forth
-
from Bashan. And I'll stop there, Matthew, So we just got problems
-
here. There's just mechanical problems here. It mentions zebulin but that this really
-
doesn't make any sense. But it says Zebuline. And to take note,
-
it mentions is a car. It doesn't say anything as said of it is
-
a car. So this is stating that is a car is a point,
-
is a part of Zebulun. That that can't be true. It just can't
-
be Now, I'm sure all your Bible prophecy astroverts know all about this.
-
Okay, But ladies and gentlemen, if you go and look Zebuline and is
-
a car what makes you think? Well, first off, the major problem
-
is that people don't know the order of the tribes to begin with. So
-
you need to realize that it's a car was born from and he was the
-
first born after the law in time? What does that mean? Judah was
-
born from Lea. Then Bill Hall had two sons, Goad and Asher was
-
born from the other handmade Zilpa. Then is a car was born and Zebulin
-
was tenth. So we're having problems here with the list. Is a car
-
should not be a part of Zebulin under any certain these should be reversed.
-
Then it mentions Goad Goad was the son of Zilpa Dan. Now take noe.
-
Goad was the first born of Zilpa, but Dan was the first born
-
of Bill Hall. Well, I'm saying things. That's just I'm really rattling
-
some cages. Now are and I jose yes, because they weren't expecting any
-
Bible prophecy expert to know which tribes come from which mother. Yeah, oh
-
yeah, I assure you I know them, I know them by heart.
-
So I'm just pointing out things. I'm not really trying to. I mean,
-
I just don't have time to get into this. But you also need
-
to know this. It's right here that Dad and Dan are reversed. Now,
-
once again, I don't need to ask you what it states in the
-
Blessing of Jacob. I know what Genesis chapter forty nine says. Nobody has
-
to tell me what it says. I mean, we can go there,
-
but guess what, I don't need to waste my time. You're just gonna
-
have to say a warm for it. Dan is the judge and Dad is
-
the lions. Well why is it reversed here? Oh you don't know.
-
Well, it's too bad of running out of tom when we got eight minutes
-
left. Holday back to you, all right. So I'm gonna go ahead
-
and finish this chapter up. Then, Matthew of knaf Tali, he said,
-
Oh naf Tally sat outside with favor and full of the blessing of the
-
Lord. Take possession of the sea and the south of Asher. He said,
-
more blessed than the suns is Asher. May he be favored by his
-
brothers, and may he dip his foot in oil. Your locks will be
-
iron and bronze, and according to your days, so will your leisurely walk
-
be. There is none like the God of Jeshurun, who rides the heavens
-
to your help and through the skies and his majesty. The eternal God is
-
a dwelling place, and underneath are the everlasting arms. He drove out the
-
enemy from before you and said destroy. So Israel dwells in security, the
-
fountain of Jacob, secluded in the land of grain and new wine. His
-
heavens also drop down dew. Blessed are you, o Israel, who is
-
like a people saved by the Lord, who is the shield of your help
-
and the sword of your majesty. So your enemies will cringe before you,
-
and you will tread upon their high places. That doesn't sound like the nation
-
of Israel. Matthew, Oh well, well, because he's talking about Asher,
-
right right, But let me say that again. He's talking about Asher's
-
He's and it says off the hook things about Asher, right. So yeah,
-
So first off, the first two verses are of Asher in this stanza,
-
but then it mentions, jes you run in verse twenty six, right,
-
right, So there's a big differentiation here that you need to see.
-
But why is it saying this about Asher? May he be favored by his
-
brothers? Wait a minute, wasn't that already kind of stated once with somebody
-
else? Right, Everyone's like, what are you talking about? Well,
-
jose already talked about it verse sixteen, stating of Joseph, it says in
-
verse sixteen, and the crown of the head the one distinguished from among his
-
brothers. So, boy, there's things going on here. I just,
-
oh my goodness, you have before that Levi is talked about too verse nine.
-
And he did not acknowledge his brothers, nor did he regard his own
-
son. So here we have the third time is a charm with Asher?
-
Now what what does this? Let me ask you about verse twenty five.
-
Jose what do you think of that verse? Well, I have to see
-
what that word locks is. But iron, of course, that draws me
-
towards the angelic Matthew. That's that's kind of how the way that the angel
-
that are described as being iron. So I mean this is this is,
-
this is almost drawing me towards towards those replacements. Matthew. Well, well
-
let let me just jump in here all right. Locks, Boy, isn't
-
that funny because so so let me ask you this, So, is that
-
talking about the locks of hair or is it a lock like a lock and
-
key? Yep, that's that's That's exactly where my mind went, Matthew.
-
Yes, that Hebrew word there, it means a bolt. It means a
-
lock as in lock and key. So it's talking about his lock will be
-
iron. So I'm just going to cut to the chase. I'm going to
-
tell you point blank what God has already told Jose, Jose, the Assyrian
-
is the Lord's axe. That is correct, right, yes, and me
-
the axe is already at the roots. Amen. Amen, this is telling
-
you emphatically that the false prophet is whichever way you want to put it,
-
this word in the Hebrew is ashure, the same exact word where you get
-
that infamous title the Assyrian. And he just come right out and said it.
-
He come right out and said they just come right out and said that
-
this is who gesture run is going to have to contend with. And by
-
the way, jesuine means whom God is straightened. This is why this is
-
a prophetic name for Israel. Because I've talked about this many times. That
-
is what Israel's name really means. I'll take note. I've stated this time
-
and time again and again. We're gonna jump over here. Let me do
-
this real quick. Ladies and gentlemen, know in your heart that Israel comes
-
from age thirty four to seventy four because it has a prefixedyd. Yes it
-
does. It's not Sarah's name plus God e L. No, it's not.
-
Every single time it has a prefixed yock that means it's aged thirty four
-
to seventy four. You just the strongs incorrectly says that it's eighty two eighty
-
two. No it's not. It's not Ah eighty two eighty two. It's
-
H thirty four to seventy four and H four ten, which is L God's
-
name. It means whom God is traightened. That's exactly what jet urae means.
-
That's exactly what it means. So that's why everybody knows all that.
-
All the Rabbi scholars know that gesture one means. That's why it's another name
-
for Israel. It means the upright or strength or smooth. That's what it
-
means talking about Christians, ladies and gentlemen, whom God is straightened. God
-
has straightened you when you circumcise your heart and start living according to God's purpose
-
as clearly defined as the righteousness in the Bible, God's Holy Word, from
-
cover to cover, cover to cover, That's what it is. First John
-
three to ten. Amen, Jose, Amen. Christians are those who practice
-
righteousness. They have been straightened by God through the Holy Spirit in the sacrifice
-
of Jesus Christ. Amen. Amen. And this is coming out and telling
-
you in more ways than one. I wish I had more time to government,
-
but we're all ready at the top of the hour. We have to
-
pray and get out of here. So Jose, were already minute passed.
-
You're closing comments, and then take us right on out in prayer. Just
-
there's a whole lot more in here that we could not cover, Matthew,
-
and so I just encourage everyone to read this chapter to study it out.
-
God's using these tribes to tell us a lot prophetically about what is to come.
-
These are not just genealogies, These are not just lists. These are
-
highly prophetic sayings that God has given us about what is to come. And
-
we our time is short. We need we need to understand this. Even
-
myself there's stuff in here that that that I need to dig into. So
-
those are my closing thoughts. Matthew, all right, take us out of
-
here in prayer, Jose Okay. Dear Heavenly Father, I thank you for
-
bringing us together, and I thank you for joining us attention to this chapter
-
in your word. Lord, I pray for those that are undergoing strife currently,
-
whether it be in the in that nation of Israel, whether it be
-
in the nation of Ukraine, whether it be in the nation of Africa,
-
wherever their strife in the world, wherever those birth pangs are, Father,
-
I pray for them, and I pray that you show yourself to them and
-
show your son to them, so that they may be saved. Father,
-
I pray that in the time that we have left before darkness, that you
-
allow us to study your word, that you allow us to do your work
-
while we can. Father, I ask that you help us search out that
-
lost sheep and help them return to you. Father, and Lord, I
-
also pray for the Ecclesia. Please give us strength, Please give us comfort,
-
Please give us hope in your redemption. And we ask all this in
-
the name of your son Jesus Christ. Amen, Amen, and Amen.
-
